Is this really the best poll I can manage?

Sadly, yes.

[Poll #1085055]

Have you ever bought a record because of an end-of-year round-up? Was the NME's Christmas double issue ever a beloved yuletide tradition? What was the last end-of-year poll that actually managed to make you cross?

I currently do the following
- top 50 singles (yes, 50, I am terrible) - since 2003
- top 10/20 albums (varies) - since about 2005
- top 10 gigs/festival shows - ditto

I like looking back. And also, around October every year, I panic that I haven't heard enough (to write a list) therefore go around hunting down everything I've missed. Therefore it serves a useful function.

I wish I kept rolling lists, but I am too crap.

I like reading others' lists but tend to prefer those of friends/LJ people to magazines.

I used to like the NME xmas issue - it did indeed excite me from about 96-99/2000 but not since. Have bought it occasionally and always been disappointed.

Terrible because it's not 150?
